Thurgau hosted Kloten in a club friendly on 7 August 2026, but the visitors took all three points with a 3-2 victory. The match ended with Kloten ahead, though the scoreline suggests it was closer than the final result implies.
Thurgau had been struggling recently, losing their last two outings against Oltten 1-2 on both occasions. Before that run of defeats, they had managed a 4-3 win, but the momentum had shifted. By then, the home side needed a response.
Kloten arrived with mixed fortunes of their own. A heavy 7-0 defeat to Servette on 9 March had been followed by a 2-1 win over Lugano, then another loss and two victories. The visitors had found a way through at times, but consistency remained a question.
What this friendly showed was simply that Kloten's attack could still trouble sides. Thurgau's last five matches tell their own story — three losses, one win — and the 2-3 result did not rewrite that pattern. To be fair, friendlies do not demand the same intensity as competitive fixtures.
The match ended with Kloten ahead on the scoreboard. For Thurgau, it extended a run of heavy defeats and another loss to add to the list. Kloten's form had been uneven, but this result offered little more than a friendly victory.
